Promotion, dissemination and conservation

The Foundation of the Musée d’art contemporain is dedicated to supporting the museum in its various activities, with a focus on building the collection, mounting exhibitions and maintaining educational programs. To achieve this mission, the Foundation’s mandate is to raise funds from organizations and individuals interested in promoting and preserving contemporary art from Québec, Canada and abroad. In this way, the Foundation helps raise the profile of the collection at the heart of Canada’s premier institution devoted exclusively to contemporary art.

Each year, the Foundation holds three highly anticipated benefit galas: Les Printemps du MAC, in April, the MAC Ball, in September, and the National Bank Private Banking 1859 Collectors Symposium, in October. The Foundation also oversees the annual fundraising campaign, memberships and the MAC Boutique.

The Collectors Symposium

The Collectors Symposium, presented by National Bank Private Banking 1859, was established to give participants an opportunity to share in the experience of sitting on an art acquisition committee.
